Synopsis

“Promise you won’t break my heart, Brax.”

He promised. I believed. Brax Kent was a liar. He shattered every possible piece of me.
Several years passed before I got through an entire day without shedding a tear. My existence was hollow, empty, bleak. Hate was the only thing that pushed me through the day.

Seven years later, who turns up to be my next door neighbor? The man I despise with every ounce of my being.

And now he wants me back. With flowery words and sworn oaths full of apologies, he begs. Can this man who ruined me be trusted? Only his obstinance, persistence, and beautiful face weaken my resolve.

And I stupidly expose my heart as he wedges himself inside, bit by bit. Surrendering completely may mean absolute love, or absolute destruction.
The choice is mine. Cross the line in the sand, or stay in my safe zone.

*One Blissful Night is a complete stand alone, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance, with no cliffhanger.

Release Blitz: Six Weeks of Loving You by Karli Perrin + 5+* review


Title: Six Weeks of Loving You
Author: Karli Perrin
Release Date: November 26, 2019

Synopsis

The news reporters called it a disaster.
The doctors called it a miracle.
I could still walk. I could still talk. I could still remember every little detail about the train crash.
Until I couldn’t.
Six weeks later, I lost my memory.
I woke up believing that it was the morning of the accident.
Six weeks after that, it happened again.
I have retrograde amnesia. I’ve damaged a part of my brain which allows me to recall the recent past. In other words, I have an extremely limited short-term memory – six weeks to be exact. 
The train derailed eighteen months ago.
I’ve relived that morning twelve times.
When I meet Spencer Hale, I put up a huge fight.
I won’t let him in. I can’t let him in. But with each day that passes, my walls begin to come down.
I get one step closer to loving him.
And one step closer to losing him.
Welcome to the train wreck that is my life.

My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

Omigod this book deserves so much more than 5 stars!! I read this in one sitting, it was so addictive, I couldn't put it down. It would make an amazing movie, just saying.

Six Weeks of Loving You has literally destroyed me!! I sobbed and sobbed as if I’d been told a family member had just died. I’m not exaggerating. My heart and throat hurt, my face was swollen, red and blotchy. From the last 3% of the book I could hardly see for tears, I actually had to stop reading at one point. 

This is a beautiful, emotional and heart wrenching story with amazing characters who yank at your heart strings and endear themselves to your heart from the very beginning. 
Karli Perrin has knocked the ball out of the park with this book, she did an outstanding job of wringing out every drop of emotion in me. I can honestly say this has to be one of my absolute top fave reads EVER and not just of this year!!! 

I fell in love with Spencer & Cora, their attraction was instant and inevitable and their banter was funny, quick and adorable. They hurt my heart but they also rebuilt it. 

There is so much I want to say about these wonderful characters but I'm afraid of revealing spoilers, so all I'll say is...go 1-click this awesome book. I can’t recommend it highly enough but prepare yourself for a LOT of ugly crying and a massive book hangover.

Excerpt
Tommy
“Does someone want to tell me what you lot are doing, sitting around like a bunch of old ladies, and for the love of God, who let that feckin dog piss all over my feckin floor?” Danny barked, making us jump.
“Shit,” Kier muttered as he looked at Driscoll. The pathetic mutt was sat next to a puddle of piss, his head tilted towards Kieran and looking like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth.
“Sorry Danny, we were just chatting,” I said, knowing instantly that I should’ve kept my trap shut.
“Well how nice. If I’d known that, I’d have brought some cake and a pot of tea with me. As it is, I’ll just have to remind you this is a professional feckin’ boxing gym. If you want to sit around and chat, piss off down the tea rooms,” Danny said.
“What’s a tea room?” I asked.
“I think it’s like an old fashioned café, but more upmarket like,” Kier explained.
“Fuck me backwards,” Con muttered. “I’m going to be training until midnight if you two don’t shut your fuckin’ holes.”
We all turned to look at Danny. His arms were crossed and a cigarette hung from his lips as he gave us his famous death stare. We were all squirming and cracking under the pressure when he finally spoke.
“Kieran, clean up my floor and then I want five miles out of the lot of you.” This time he didn’t he raise his voice, and that was even scarier than when he shouted.
“I’ll take Driscoll with us,” Kier offered. No matter what Kier did he couldn’t train the fucker, yet Danny only had to give the dog a single command and he jumped straight to it. I could relate.
“Don’t be feckin stupid. It’s freezin’ out there. Driscoll. Office,” he ordered. The spoilt mutt licked Kier’s hand, then sashayed his canine arse all the way to Danny’s office where, no doubt, he’d lay out in front of the nice warm radiator.
“Well, what are ya waiting for. Move!” Danny barked, and we jumped to it.
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph. That mongrel of yours gets better treatment than we do,” I moaned, as we made our way to the changing room.
“You make a good point Tommy. Why don’t you go back and tell Danny how you really feel?” Kieran suggested, sarcastically.
“Don’t you have dog piss to clean?” I replied, grinning when he gave me the finger. “Besides, I might not be the sharpest tool in the box, but even I ain’t that .”

My Review

**ARC received in return for an honest review

Once Upon A Wish-mas has all the feels to make this the perfect heart-warming Christmas feel-good romance story. If this were a Christmas film it would be right up there with my all time faves I watch every year. I just want to wrap my arms around it and squeeze the hell out of it, I loved it that much. 

I adored Ruby and her story. I laughed out loud at the, sometimes embarrassing, predicaments she got herself into, one of which was the candle at the Carol service, lol! I chuckled at her sass with the gorgeous Barclay. I fumed, laughed, fumed some more and cheered over her run-ins with the snooty mothers on the PTA committee and my heart melted with her relationship with those two adorable girls. They were sooo cute!

Once Upon A Wish-mas should be read curled up in front of the fire sipping a hot chocolate with the Christmas tree lights twinkling and the best Christmas tunes playing quietly in the background to ensure the best reading experience. 1-click this baby and ENJOY!!
**Be prepared, you may have a few tears.

Release Blitz: Breaker by Harloe Rae




Title: Breaker
Author: Harloe Rae
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: October 24, 2019

Synopsis


“Tell me a happy something, Sutton.”

I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own, and needed to borrow mine. I’d willingly give him anything. 

Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult. 

Grady had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those influences were beyond my reach. 

He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us. 

I went four years without seeing Grady—each one more painful than the last. That distance did nothing to dull my feelings toward him. But things are different now. Most noticeably is Grady. I barely recognize this man he’s become. And that’s the way he intends to keep it. Not that it really matters. 

Grady Bowen stopped being my happy something long ago.
